I had tried these on my hair when it was much longer and never been able to get one to hold. In search of new styles, I thought I'd give it a shot. I have a complete lack of hairtoys so this might be a good style for those of you starting out- my hair is to the nape of my neck/top of shoulders. I used a single plastic comb but of course you could use something prettier if you have it!
I side parted my hair at the front. I am growing out bangs- if you're not, you could put a bobby pin behind your ear to make the hair stay. I pulled it back into a ponytail at the base of my head and twisted upwards. My ends didn't need tucking in but yours might if you're lucky! I smoothed the horizontally hair over the roll and underneath. I secured it with a plastic comb which is holding very well.
My hair is one day after wash (in my case, in need of a wash!) so the style is holding well. If your hair is slippery, try a bit of product to encourage it to stay- a little mousse, non-alcohol gel or aloe gel.
This style was incredibly easy on shorter hair and in my opinion, looks pretty nice as well. Try it out!
